My Review
I liked this book, but I did find that I struggled to form a strong emotional connection to Naomi and Killian. In addition, that personally for me I found that I did not become engaged with the story until about a third of the way in.
I did think that Naomi and Killian shared some good spicy chemistry. Killian was the one that did feel it first with Naomi. She took longer but I can't blame her as she was taken by Killian and found herself in a forced proximity situation. The last third of the story is the strongest.
